Abstract
Ethylmalonic encephalopathy is a very rare autosomal recessively inherited inborn error of metabolism; characterized by encephalopathy, recurrent petechiae without bleeding diathesis, chronic diarrhea, and orthostatic acrocyanosis. Here, we describe a case of ethylmalonic encephalopathy with late onset neurologic symptoms and a confusing family history of two deceased brothers with the wrong suspicion of short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.Entities:
